About Jessie Janowitz

I grew up in New York City and still live there with my family.

I started making up stories before I was old enough to write them down. I still have one that I dictated to my mother. It’s basically Star Wars but takes place on a planet called Denkofa. Eventually, I came up with more original material. My debut middle grade novel The Doughnut Fix, coming out from Sourcebooks on April 3, 2018, is not at all like Star Wars, but there are doughnuts.
